This tutorial is for those who have an issue with Plesk administrator's (admin) password changed outside from the control panel after some manual changes via SSH.

Often after such change there is an error like this one:

0: /usr/local/psa/admin/auto_prepend/auth.php3: psaerror ( string "Unable to connect to database : saved admin password is incorrect ." )
Note: The error depends on the Plesk version.

In order to fix such issue we need to put the right password into Plesk's database.

First access your server via SSH and switch to 'root'.
Stop the MySQL daemon. Under Linux systems this can be done with the following command:

/etc/init.d/mysqld stop

# on Red Hat like Linux operating systems you can either use
# 'services' to stop the deamon

service mysqld stop
